General Description
The MAX5232/MAX5233 low-power, dual 10-bit voltage-
output digital-to-analog converters (DACs) feature an
internal 10ppm/°C precision bandgap voltage reference
and precision output amplifiers. The MAX5233 operates
on a single 5V supply with an internal 2.465V reference
and features a 4.092V full-scale output range. The
MAX5232 operates on a single 3V supply with an internal
1.234V reference and features a 2.046V full-scale output
range. The MAX5233 consumes only 470µA while the
MAX5232 consumes only 420µA of supply current. Both
devices feature low-power (2µA) software- and hard-
ware-enabled shutdown modes.
The MAX5232/MAX5233 feature a 13.5MHz SPI™-,
QSPI™-, and MICROWIRE™-compatible 3-wire serial
interface. An additional data output (DOUT) allows for
daisy-chaining and read back. Each DAC has a double-
buffered digital input. The MAX5232/MAX5233 feature
two software-selectable shutdown output impedances:
1k
Ω or 200kΩ. A power-up reset feature sets DAC out-
puts at ground or at the midscale DAC code.
The MAX5232/MAX5233 are specified over the extended
temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and are available in
16-pin QSOP packages.
